On June 25, the 2022 FINA World Swimming Championships in Budapest continued, but unfortunately, the Chinese team's performance was not satisfactory, only 1 gold medal was recorded so far, including Zhang Yufei, Li Bingjie, Wang Shun and other national team main players all suffered defeats, and finally returned home! Before the Budapest Swimming World Championships began, domestic netizens were full of confidence in the performance of the Chinese team, and they did not think that the face punch came so quickly. Fortunately, although the players of the Chinese national swimming team suffered defeats, there were also the players of the diving national team.
According to the schedule of the Budapest Swimming World Championships, after the swimming event, the diving event will start on June 26! As we all know, diving is one of the traditional advantages of the Chinese team, and its ability to win gold is even comparable to table tennis and weightlifting. Importantly, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi will also participate in the Budapest Swimming World Championships to escort the Chinese team. During the Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan broke the Olympic record with a total of 466.2 points in five jumps and three full points, and won the women's singles 10m platform event.
In addition, although Chen Yaoxi won the runner-up in the women's single 10m platform event, she partnered with Zhang Jiaqi to win the championship of the women's doubles 10m platform event! It is understood that Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi will not only participate in the women's single 10-meter platform project this time, but will also participate in the women's double 10-meter platform project. Not surprisingly, the champion of the women's singles and double 10-meter platform events will be won by Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi. But unexpectedly, there were only 2 days left before the start of the diving event, but an accident occurred.
According to swimSwam, an authoritative swimming media in the United States, after confirmation by FINA officials, 8 athletes have tested positive for the virus so far! Although FINA did not disclose the names and nationalities of the athletes, Australian delegation officials have admitted that their athletes and officials tested positive for the virus. It is worth mentioning that other delegations do not seem to pay much attention to the incident, and the vast majority of people are not wearing protective equipment such as masks. However, the Chinese team attaches great importance to this, except for the game time will wear a mask.
But even so, if other delegations do not take measures, the Chinese team, including Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi, may also be affected! A few days ago, the Chinese men's volleyball team did not test positive for the virus, and finally had no choice but to announce the abandonment of the game. However, for whether Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi can participate in the subsequent competition, netizens seem to be more worried about their physical condition, and even said: such a champion is not enough, personal safety is the most important. No matter what the result of the game is, I hope that the athletes and coaches of the Chinese team can return safely.
